This is a very touchy subject. On one hand I find it awful that people would be racist enough to pain themselves black or white. On the another hand I don't think they meant any harm by it. Just the other day my friend (who is white) asked me what I thought of him dressing up as Ja Rule and I could be J-lo. Although I thought it would be a cute idea I knew that people might find it to be disrespectful. I can understand why people get up set. Back in the early 1920's white men would paint their faces black and do different theatre shows. It was something that was meant to be disrespectful and it came across that way. But people, mainly whites found it enjoyable. If people are going to be up set about students doing it then they should also be up set about those on TV shows who are doing it.
